I Am – Lesson 1

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. – John 6:35

This is the first "I Am" statement in a series of lessons on what Jesus said about himself in the book of John.  When he said "I am the bread of life," Jesus tells us that He is to the soul, what bread is to our bodies.  However, bread nourishes and eases our hunger for a while, but His spiritual nourishment is permanent. Bread exists in some form in every country and is thought of as a basic food of life. In the context of this verse, Jesus is the true living bread, sent from heaven to give eternal life to the world.

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
